Jezzadevon 24 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 In my opinion the video was real clear I enjoyed watching it ! Thanks ! also I do see what people are saying it’s not what I’d be happy with! but I don’t think saluki types ever look like there trying ! but he’s doing his job and if he’s young we all know they get smarter with the more nights they do Quote Link to post

No problem , I couldn’t give a monkey what lads catch on the dales for simple fact is I’m not interested in rabbits with dogs , I was just stateing that I believe dogs have been made legends from running on the dales , which me personally if I was going to use a stud dog over a bitch I would rather use a dog that could catch 15/20 a night all over the country than a dog that’s catching 70/80 on the dales , if I was after a rabbiting type dog that is , and I’ve watched a couple of your videos on YouTube and your dogs seem plenty able to catch in testing terrain /hedges/dykes etc etc , but I’ll stand buy my opinion of dales rabbits , lads who I trust have been there plenty of times and said it’s good ground for get pups going but as for the rabbits it’s more about the dogs fitness and the handlers fitness hauling rabbits up and down them hills than it is the dogs getting good testing runs , there’s lads out there catching 20/30 plus with 3/4 collie 1/4 grey , and I’m pretty sure that a member on here who bred some pups not long back that were les than 1/4 collie and were catching rabbits on the lamp , and like I say I saw one the bitches run local and was lucky to catch 1/3rd of its runs But up there hardly ever missed , at the end of the day tho the rabbits don’t just jump in to the boot of your car and the dog still has to go catch them and retrieve them so the dog still has to do it’s part which is fair enough , but like I said I agreed that dogs have Been made legend from dales rabbits which I still believe true and on that note , well done on today’s haul , 2 Quote Link to post
